Chris Donnelly is a young jazz pianist, composer, and improviser known for his musicality, versatility and ability to captivate an audience."There's some real brilliance there? a healthy balance of lyricism, introspection, fire, swing, surprise, and virtuosity. There is a real sense of vision, a well-formed voice, (and) an audible determination to deal with the traditional elements of jazz piano language in a very personal way." Dave Restivo 2008 Nottingham National Jazz Piano Competition Finalist, 2006-07 the Dr. Oscar Peterson/Verve Canada Scholarship Winner (IAJE Canada)
